Ok, can you like, start some sort of Novel Scoops random questions megathread or something?

Because this shit is getting way out of hand

2 seconds of extra skimming for you, good conversation for other people. Enough of this kind of complaint, seriously. I'm not the one keeping my threads aloft, and i'm not filling up the whole board either. There's always somebody comlpaining about a question trying to be answered. It is not as easy as you think to get good discussion of a strange question.

The obvious answer is explosions.

A low ratio of stuff in the movie that isn't action.

There is something to be said about, if the stakes are as high, maybe reconsider your certitudes. One has to be aggressively allistic to feel entitled to be able to trust. But it won't happen to me, my bit doesn't count etc etc... Just saying, after my recent experiences I couldn't trust the public if I wanted to. People got their risk assessment neurons rotten and replaced with game theory. Folks walk around like fat turkeys taunting the world to slaughter them.

Would it be possible to make a single thread for your various questions and theses?

Indeed, you could just use the random thoughts and small questions threads.

Nobody's keeping your threads aloft, you've got twelve of them on pages two and three.

This could have been discussed in the movie discussion thread: the thread for discussing movies

Tried doing that; gets buried in 3 posts, and i still wind up needing answers. The movies discussion thread isn't going to be any different. Focused discussion is advantageous.

The answer is stubble.

The question is silly.

What about a Novel Scoops random question thread, then the questions only get buried if you let them.
